How to Apply – Iron-On Instructions
The embroidered Peace Love patch includes a heat-activated adhesive on the back. For best results, follow these general application steps:
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Set a household iron to a high temperature appropriate for the fabric (usually cotton or linen setting) with no steam.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired area.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the patch for about 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the fabric and patch to cool slightly.
- Turn the garment inside out and press again from the reverse side of the fabric for additional adhesion, using the same time and pressure.
- Let the garment cool fully before wearing or handling extensively.
Application times and heat settings may need slight adjustment depending on fabric type and iron model. Test on a small inconspicuous area of the garment when unsure about heat tolerance.
For Maximum Durability
Although the iron-on backing provides a strong bond on many fabrics, sewing is recommended for the most long-lasting attachment, especially on frequently washed or heavily used items.
- After ironing, secure the patch by stitching around the edge with a sewing machine or by hand.
- Use matching or clear thread for a subtle look, or contrasting thread for a decorative border effect.
- Ensure stitches pass through both the patch and the garment layer for a firm hold.
Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before washing to reduce friction on the embroidered surface.
- Use gentle or normal wash cycles with cool or warm water, according to the garment’s care label.
- Avoid excessively hot water or prolonged high-heat drying, which can affect the adhesive layer.
- Air drying or low-heat tumble drying is recommended to preserve adhesion and thread color.
- Avoid direct ironing on the front of the patch without a pressing cloth to prevent damage to the embroidery threads.
Color and Appearance
- Multicolor floral design with peace and love motifs for strong visual impact
- Embroidery provides texture and a slightly raised surface compared to the base fabric
- Intended to be a focal point on garments and accessories due to its vivid colors and symbolic design
